The rear panel of your subwoofer features several controls to fine-tune its performance:

Figure 5.1: Easy-to-Use Controls on Rear Panel
- GAIN (Volume): Adjusts the output level of the subwoofer. Start with a low setting and gradually increase until the bass blends seamlessly with your main speakers.
- LOW-PASS (Crossover): This control sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer. If using an AV receiver with LFE output, set this to LFE (or bypass if available on your receiver). If connecting via stereo RCA, adjust this to blend with your main speakers' low-frequency cutoff.
- ÌRE (0°/180°): Adjusts the phase of the subwoofer output relative to your main speakers. Experiment with both settings to find the one that provides the most impactful and coherent bass.
- POWER (ON/AUTO/OFF):
- AIR: Subwoofer remains continuously on.
- AUTO: Subwoofer automatically turns on when an audio signal is detected and enters a low-power standby mode after a period of inactivity.
- OFF: Subwoofer is powered off.
The 1/2-watt standby mode in AUTO setting ensures exceptional efficiency and reduces energy costs.
5.2 Initial Power On and Adjustment

- Set the GAIN control to its minimum position.
- Set the LOW-PASS control to LFE if using an AV receiver, or to a suitable frequency (e.g., 80Hz) if connecting via stereo RCA.

- Set the POWER switch to AUTO.
- Play some audio with significant bass content. Gradually increase the GAIN control until the subwoofer output blends with your main speakers.
- Experiment with the PHASE switch (0° vs. 180°) to determine which setting provides the most impactful and seamless bass response in your listening position.
For optimal performance, consider using your AV receiver's automatic room correction system (if available) after initial setup.
